Turn off 3G, turn on only when needed
Settings -> Location -> Untick ''Wireless Networks and GPS Satelites''
Settings ->Accounts -> Untick Background data (Unless you want to use market)
Settings -> Wirelless -> Advanced -> Wifi sleep policy -> Never
Use phone on 2G, unless using internet (then switch to 3G mode)
Data traffic always OFF (Use only when needed)
Backlight low or Auto Brightness (And allow light to decrease)
Turn off wireless, basically everything turned off with the power control widget, turn on when necessary
Install task manager and set auto-kill mode to crazy on switch off screen mode (Put apps that always run in ignore list e.g. Launcher, Messaging. Basically the necessities)
Install SetCPU (After rooting your phone) - Min CPU 122mhz, Max CPU ~700mhz - 'On demand' profile
SetCpu - Profiles -> Screen Off -> Min 122mhz, Max 122mhz, Performance mode
Upgrade to Froyo 2.2 - Enable JIT (Saves battery on 2.2+)
Switch to a Cyanogenmod Rom
Enable undervolting (Only for CyanogenMOD roms)
Use RenderFX widget (CyanogenMOD, best to use low red, best to use when you are heading out)
Cyanogenmod - Spare Parts -> End Button Behaviour -> Go to sleep
LAST, but NOT LEAST, if you notice no significant increase in battery life, then your battery is no calibrated right! So go to market, download 'Battery Calibration', and charge your phone to 100%. Next, if its abbout 4000v - 4200v, your phone is correctly calibrated!
If its not 4000 -4200, press the ''calibrate'' button, and let your phone die out, then fully charge it (while its still powered off). Wait till light is green, TURN ON.
After boot, battery will not be 100% yet, reboot once more, charge to 100% (while phone is on), and check your new calibrated battery! It should now be 4000 to 4200v
I know there might be programs and applications to increase your battery life, but I dont have any experience with these, so feel free to post your experiences! Some examples may include juicedefender, etc
Anyone wants to add to this list, feel free =)

No task managers. The phone manages its RAM well and the battery will last longer. For normal uses upto 1.5 days and for heavy users 1 day.

and here I heard installing juicedefender does more damage than good too.. what to believe? Everything is based on peoples hearsay and no evidence..
On my girl friends X10 mini I changed from ADW launcher to Helixlauncher and changed the brightness to auto. That made a HUGE difference.
Was on vacation and turned off 3G because I was not gonna use any expenisve data. That alone boosted my batterylife about 1 days worth.

people can do much to boost battery time, like turn off 3g, brightness control, turn off gps and so on, that all helps the battery
I have switched of almost everything and still get about 1 day of battery with about 2-3Hrs of music and a few calls and videos.
is it ok?
I get over 48 hours and I use the wifi a lot and do about 30mins of calls a day.
My tips:
* turn background data off and manually update ur emails when u want - this is the best tip I put it on my blog too
* manually enable network data when u need it
* use the top button to go on standby as soon as you are done using the phone
* keep gps, 3g and wifi off unless u want to use it
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I have background data off.
No emailing whatsoever till now....
Almost 75% of the time in standby
Gps 3G wifi bluetooth are off.
Yet with stock launcer i get 24Hrs
Helix 30Hrs..
Why?
Its been two weeks(or 3) since i bought the phone...
Please reply.
BTW when did you buy the phone?
^^Ok.
I have come to know the problem.
Running any apps in background like Battery Indicator or task manager brings down the battery so much(the latter not much though)..
Because daily i used to get the above with battery indicator pro on.
But after uninstalling it i got about double that battery life..
So people better don't run them all the time.
task manager can be used sometimes about once every 2 hrs o so.
This increased my battery life so much on stock launcher
Just got the pro today. Will be ditching my X2 depending on the performance of this one after a week. So far, I love the mini pro for the fact that I can now hear my incoming messages and calls!
A couple of questions though:
1) Is there a way to wake up the screen when an SMS arrives?
2) Custom ringtone per contact?
3) Is there a way to disable screen lock when the phone goes to sleep by itself (not pressing the power button) ?
4) Is there a way to unlock the screen without the need to press the left button, I was hoping to go directly to the pattern unlock after i turn on the phone
Still getting used to the keyboard lay-out as I've been using X2 for almost 6 months.

I use Chomp SMS app and this allows the screen to wake-up, I think Handcent SMS does too. I never used the stock SMS app so not sure if there is a way to do it with that.

Not sure if this answers your question, I just press the Menu button twice to unlock the phone, never used the power button to wake it up funnily enough, only used the power button go in to sleep mode. When I press Menu button it wakes up to the pattern unlock.

Nice, i'll try to look for those apps. I did try the menu button and it worked. At least this relieves stress on the power button since I won't be using it to wake-up the phone anymore.
How's about not locking the phone when it goes to sleep? Unless I press the power button?
After a day with it, battery is now @ 30%+. Hope it improves or SE comes out with a high capacity.
Hi, where is the disable 3G button?
I can't seem to find it. I found wifi on and off.
and I unchecked location with gps.

Helix launcher is the best thing I installed to my mini pro. Batt life is now 3-4 days regular use and 5 days if i don't play games. Games are draining the batt quickly.
I'm totally getting rid of my X2.
3 to 4 days? Lol how can that be possible.. Did you use 3g?

I can prove it, there's a display in the phone where it says # of hours unplugged. If it's not working for you, doesn't mean it shouldn't for others as well. If you barely make 2 days, then that's what we should be LOLing about.
My setting is as follows:
- 2g only
- 1 to 2 hours of wifi and bluetooth per day
- 1 to 2 hours of games (love the games) per day
- tried GPS for 1 hour using mapdroyd
- a couple of calls and text messages per day
- tried watching a movie (AVI) for an hour using yxflash
- tried the media, played MP3s for an hour
- tried meebo for an hour
- I got my alarms ON always
- notifications ON always
- custom led lights for new SMS (using ringo pro) always
- max volume for the entire day
- medium volume at night
- data connection off
- background data off
- screen brightness to zero but the sensor is still working (weird), the screens still adjusts to the surrounding
This is after installing helix. Before helix, I got a max of 1 and a half days only.

Im finding the same issue. Im looking for the "use only 2g" as found on the g1 (my other phone) but I can find it. Some help would be excellent on locating this option!!

For people facing battery drainage problem, u may try this
-Battery calibration has to be done. "Battery Calibration" app for the calibration:
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
-I use "Juicedefender ultimate"(Just google it and get a pirated copy if u dnt want to buy) - set to "Balanced" profile: (there is a free version, too). Bt ultimate is the best
-"Autostarts" is great for preventing useless apps from autostart. Use it to disable apps wich wil autostart.
-"Auto memory manager" is a great replacement for "Task Killer"( Task killer just kills all apps so they could start again in the background - useless!) Use it in "agressive" mode, apply the mode once and forget about it (and task killing):
-DISABLE automatic syncing and background data!
To save battery, turn off wifi & bluetooth when you are not using them.
- Install APNDroid, to easily switch 3G/EDGE data off when not needed (still allows you to receive MMS messages when data is off, and has a widget)
- Set your screen to the minimum brightness that you can (but so that the display is still bright enough to use)
- Turn off "Power Saving" in display settings (actually uses more power than it saves 9 times out of 10)
- Use auto memory manager
- uninstall 3D gallery(uses lot of battery). instead use "quickpic"(very very fast for viewing images)
-Exiting apps using the back key, home key put the apps to background task.
-use setcpu profiles (setcpu from here for free)
press profiles tab, then add profile.
in that select a profile for screen off and set the max to a lower value as we dont use the phone wen the screen is off. This saves some battery. priority:100
create another profile for incall and set the max to a medium value. priority:99
and another profile for temperature>44, set a medium value. priority:98
another profile for charging usb. max slider at medium value. priority:97
profile for battery<21%. max slider at medium value. priority:96
profile for battery<6%. max slider at lower value. priority:95
note: min for all profiles set the lowest. untick stay awake in settings => development.

I do all of this, and I can get up to 2 and half days(sometimes 3 days) use without charging.
u may also try this
Things that will drain your battery the most (highest power usage):
- Wifi
- Bluetooth
- 3G/EDGE
- Screen
- Phone calls
Thanks m8, nice tutorial, i'm going to test battery calibration when it's fully charged.

plz read my first post completely. Its "autostarts" app. I hv mentioned it
So after some research and Googling, I discovered that "Killling" your app is only worse or has no effect for your battery life. Even using apps that "save" battery only harm it even more. I've been told these were the fundamental things to save battery ever since I even got my hands on a smart phone.. Guess I've been asking the wrong people.
So, what are real ways to save battery? I'm a heavy phone user, often surfing the net or watching Netflix on the go. Dimming my screen is not enough, are there any other techniques to prevent my phone from dying? I've got an Android 4.
If you're rooted:
Underclock
Undervolt
Change cpu governor/io scheduler
Flash different ROMS and kernels
Change your modem
And a few more.
Not rooted:
Use screen filter? Lol.
Update your firmware

I am rooted, thank you for the info! I'll be looking into it~
Get bigger battery?
Turn thing off lol only kidding but turn off auto updates such as news etc
If you look at your battery stats, under settings, you'll see what uses the most battery. Usually I find that my screen uses around 70% of my battery, but if you have something else high on the list you might have a "rogue app" preventing your phone from going into sleep mode.
If your screen is the culprit you can only save 10% or so by throttling your CPU etc. The only way you can make real savings is by reducing screen brightness.
Easiest way to save battery is use gemini app manager to stop apps being able to autostart when you don't want them to as then you don't have the os having to kill off unused apps to make more free ram.
For example a lot of apps can autostart when your wifi goes on or off, when your 3G signal drops etcetera including things like facebook or google play. By changing auto start for such apps you don't have to run a task killer which also saves battery.

i use the aokp rom milestone 4 atm, and i also have come accross a fantastic battery app called "Badass Battery Monitor". its free and details very very specifically what apps are using the battery most.
I have managed to increase my battery by rooting out the apps i dont use that are using prescious power...
Also, turning off useless app permissions for apps theat really dont need them and work perfectly well without them will also save on power massively. for this i use "LBE Privacy Guard" works an absolute charm
I have widget where I can turn off Internet connection, set brightness, GPS etc. Internet stand-by mode uses damn much battery... And when you don't use Internet, you can put on 2G, it also saves battery.
This may not benefit you if you are a heavy user but I find the feature on my Droid 3 that turns off 3G after 15 minutes of inactivity saves battery and also saves data. Not sure if this is a standard Android feature or if it would even benefit you.
Here with LG P990 and I don't have option to turn off 3G aftre some minutes... but if/when you didn't need high speed you can choose only 2G network (for example when needed receive only notification): this save a lot your battery.
Moreover you can verify battery consumption to see if there are autostart apps from your vendor than have heavy power consumption (for me there was OnScreenPhone) and use gemini app manager as explained previously.
In the end you can find out custom ROM for your device usually optimized for smoothness and power consumption.
First apps I download when switching to a new Rom to get a little control on battery are
Adfree- Get rid of ads, they eat a bit of battery.
DroidWall- Control what apps are able to access Internet under separate "Mobile Data" and "Wifi" Conditions.
Screenfilter- Dim the screen below factory settings.
LED's hack- Turn off the Softbutton Backlights (home/menu/back/search), even though they don't seem like it may eat up your battery, it is an extra 'light' that's on, even though it may be minimal, it's still drawing power.
Also, It maybe just a Photon thing cuz of the Pentile display but I always use if not completely Black background image, a dark one because the 'lighter' or 'whiter/colorful' images take more battery, same reason I always look for 'Inverted' or black themed apps too.
Turn OFF any 'Haptic feedback' settings on your phone (Keyboard, Phone DialPad, Screen/UI Interactions, etc..)
For Calls (Ringtone) and Notification settings, don't have them set to 'Ring and Vibrate' or just 'Vibrate' because the Vibration Mechanism will eat alot if battery. Some may argue that the Notification 'Vibrate' setting and even the Haptic feedback (which does in fact use the phones Vibration mechanism) would not kill battery because it's a 'quick' or 'minimal' use (depending on use) and but if your keyboard had the Haptic feedback on, thinking of how many times your touch the keyboard for even on Text message, try will add up and help kill the battery.
Turn OFF any/all Homescreen/UI Animations
Turn OFF any Auto Sync setting and instead have APPS sync in a specified interval, (Of course Depending on how important the information that's being pulled like Email) , Could be set to like every 4 hours to sync an so on.
Manually input Date/Time settings instead of "Get network provided values" because it'll be one less thing pulling from Internet.
Set Screen Timeout to 30 Secs and Never have Auto-Brightness set, instead use a brightness toggle of some sort (Stock 'Power Control' Widget works well) to only have it as bright as you need to view in current conditions.
Open the Google 'Talk' application and uncheck the 'Auto log-in' setting, and then 'Sign out'. For some reason this always runs in the background and eats alot of battery.
If I think of more things ill post them
Hope these tips help, if they do don't forget to hit the thanks button thanks.

There are many ways...
Switch on WiFi, 3G at only using, and close the not using application, decrease display brightness etc...
And if you root your phone, you may change CPU governor, or build.prop tweaks, script tweaks... Or change to custom kernel or custom ROM.
I forgot that 'LED's hack' is not available in the market anymore, I attached it below.
i hv just downloaded screen-filter lets c how that works...
Juice defender
Try JuiceDefender by Latedroid. It helps a lot to turn off things you don't need when you don't need them. Sorry I can't post the link- I'm new to XDA
my experience:
undervolting does not help much. you have to test a lot for only a little bit of improvement.
in my opinion you will not really remark it.
but what helps, i think, is set cpu speed, if possible. for example i use samsung galaxy s2 where cpu has max 1200mhz. i set max cpu freq to 800mhz. with a good rom (hydrogenics f.e.) android keeps running smooth with 800mhz and battery lasts noticeable longer.
I agree that undervolting doesn't help so much.
Like in up post, best thing to save Your battery is to change cpu power. You can also use diffrent cpu govenor : good for battery are smartassv2 and power save. Just need to have rooted phone and download app, fx. Antutu CPU Master or Set CPU. U can also make your cpu speed profiles.
Hi all,
I'd like to start a thread here to discuss ics and battery life, maybe we can share some tips, tricks, new ics apps and general info to extend the battery of our phones.
I update to ics last nite on a full battery and when i went to sleep i turned wifi off, i noticed in this morning in battery usage graph that something kept the phone awake all nite, this never happened before, anyone have any idea or experienced the same thing?
Feel free to share anything that will help!

First trick ( note that you need root)
If you keep screen locked for a lot of time you can set min , cpu freq to 192 mhz and safe 25 mV (note that normally when you will unlock the screen , frequency will be higer than normal [100-200 mhz not 3Ghz :cyclops:]
a couple of tricks
non root
- disable all the different data options all the time if you not realy needet and able
- if your not on the internet: dissable WCDMA - GSM is highly enough to phone, send SMS, Email and stuff
- take a dark (best is black) Wallpaper and use a minimum of Brightness.
- use not a lot of Widgeds thats updatet all the time
- just install needet apps... kick out all your unneedet apps
- Dissable all animation gimmiks
- DONT USE AUTO TASK KILLER
- Disable auto Rotation
and for root users
- like Forzaferrarileo, set CPU profiles that press if the Screen is of, the Frequenci to a minimum
- Use the Conservative Governor and maybee use a lesser maximal Frequenzy
- if you use the Rom Toolbox, set your Sysctl Tweaks under "kernel tweaks" into something like
Min free bytes: 2048
Dirty Ratio: 90
Dirty Background Ratio: 60
VFS Cache Pressure: something between 10 and 20
- under Build.prop Tweaks set
Scan interwall to the max (300)
- Download Droidwall and block for the apps they dont realy needs internet the 3g option (dont save just a bit of battery, also saves Download and can made free apps free of adds )
- Dissable the Autostarts and the bootrecivers from apps you dont realy needs often (also with the rom toolbox)
Battery life post ICS is a lot better. I'd say its comparable to .73.
Here's why:
Using .75 FW whenever I would charge the battery to 100% and then unplug the phone from the charger, it would start draining almost immediately. Even on very light to light usage it would drain about 30% in 24 hours or so without any fancy apps that would want to use the data connection or CPU.
ICS: the phone is fully charged, battery drain when the phone is in standby is so much less. In 4 hours of standby time with data on the battery has drained 0% The behaviour of the battery feels very similar to .73 FW which I felt was a great update.

PPL lets get back to reality!
If you need a smartphone that:
- Is 24/7 online
- Contineously synchs e-mail
- Is always online in Vyber, Skype, etc
- Contineously refreshes your widgets
- Surf the net
- Play your favorite 3D games
and you require the perfect battery life, there is only one solution!
MOTO DROID RAZR MAXX!
No other smartphone can perform all above combined and have good battery life!

not at all... with this tweaks (without trigger the CPU to a lower level) if got with all my devices that i ever have the most exiting power... all my devices range under the top ten by the Antutu Benchmarktest - with mutch more Batterylife.. because, with this tweaks and Manual settings for Data options, you just use Battery at the time you need it
what is the sense of WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, WCDMA is on while the Device is in the pocket? for nothing, expet for Battery drain.

Well it can easily be said that Smart Phone is not Smart enough when we talk about energy consumption. These Mobiles are designed for Charge as per Usage and claim of Manufactures are away from Reality.
We actually waiting this feature when our Smart Phone will give us Smart Battery Life at least of one Week in normal usage...
Think if I have Amoled or SLCD Display than why can not we we use to see a Picture in Brighter Mode to Save Battery?
If I Want to stay connected with the world than why should I turn off GPS, WIFI, WCDMA or Mobile Data?
No Moving Part but Battery got empty every 12 Hours?
Has some fancy features but on the cost of battery..
These are because we wish to have all Goodies and feature of PC in such a Tiny Device suppose to have a auto recharge mode using wind, light power
Limitations are there so on date we can not say it a SMART PHONE has some extra ordinary features but not a Complete SMART DEVICE.......
Don't forget about dalvik. Android isn't pure software. Its more like virtual machine. Because of that lots of energy is wasted and there is need for strong hardware...

seems i dont have much problem on my xperia sola ics, ill share some of my tips(battery life)
first thing, turn off wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, nfc, glove mode, sony bravia engine, and the animation. also dont use live wallpapers on your screen. only turn on if u realy need it
i usually charge my phone between 24-28 hours!
i recomended also not playing games every time..(actually i dont play game on my phone)
hope that will make your batterys life longger too and sory for my bad english..
I don't have any problems with my XPERIA P neither; phone lasts 2days easily and can last 3 when I don't use much (every day I use Wifi and 3G not heavy use but quite good), I just disabled Synch and activated advanced sleep mode for battery (loses 1% overnight)

I found this app on playstore and wanted to get feedback from you guys, especially those that bought the pro version.
Is it really THAT effective?
Deep Sleep Battery Saver
Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off

i personally found DU battery saver more effective..
It was a brilliant battery saver back when I had a S2. but on my Note 2 it's not that effective, simply because Samsung radically improved their sleep management algorithms and it goes too deep sleep almost after turning screen off.
DU battery saver on other hand does nothing special to save battery except for turning off wifi and ... . In my opinion it's completely in different category. I just love the Healthy Charging.
For rooted users nothing works better than Greenify.
You can over come all of that by :
Using greenify (Donate version) allows you to get the Push messages.
Using 3g-2g auto switching software as 2g saves lots of battery.
Using tasker to automate sync periods and duration if you like to receive mails and update your feeds.
By doing so, you can still be online all day long while on 2g-3g connectivity with a good battery backup. And that's what I'm always doing.

i never use any battery saver or anything they called.. :laugh:
here's my tricks;
- i only use greenify (free) for user app, and for unused system app i delete them manually or freeze with titanium backup..
- for 3g-2g auto switching, i'm using this xposed module; [APP] Intelli3G - 2G/3G/4G Toggle and battery saver for stock android, yes it saves your battery..
- uncheck the google account sync, i use it only after first installation of rom, contact and app only..
- instead of adblock/adaway, i'm using firewall to block unnecessary app to connect internet, thank god avast have that feature..
with all that i can use my device up to 30hours+ with 4hours screen time on..
if someone what to add more advice, please write it down..
btw @futchy4u, do you mind to share your automatic sync tasker profile, i might wanna try that one..

hotdroid, thanks for your detailed reply and i would love if you can give some more advice as its always helpful. Currently i am on DN3 and i do get around 3.5-4 hours screen on with wifi on all the time and 2G sometimes. But i have seen some people just having great battery usage, perhaps i have installed too many apps lol. Please share your thoughts on more battery saving tips.

I don't mind at all
Here you go ...
btw, I converted the profile to a simple service but without the greenifying part. And i'm using it now without using tasker. I was only using tasker for sync. but now I'm using my app without tasker .
I dont think this app gonna any longer work on Android KitKat v4.2.2 versions
